We Won! We Won!

We won the lottery! We don't know what to spend the money on first, but we're going to stretch that five dollars as far as we can. Happy April Fools!

I talked to one of my readers last night, Tonya Jones, at Michael Porter's wedding party that I crashed to take pictures of the band, Lawless Flatz. She and her husband, Wayne, are visiting from Brenham, TX.

Well, I have been accusing people in my household of stealing my newspapers and I have finally caught the culprit. It's me! I thought I was putting them in a safe place, but apparently everytime I see my pile of "to be written" papers, I think it is trash and throw it in the burn pile.

Here is an update for the Rotan Advance / Roby Star from two papers that I saved from myself:

Have a beautiful day, no foolin'!
